Section 1 Target Audience
1,200 bodies found in mass grave
The audience that is targeted in the article is early 20’s to middle aged readers. Politicians and people interested in the ongoing conflicts in the world today may also be interested in the headline. The headline is designed to shock the reader into further examining the content of the article to find out the whole story. The term “Mass Grave” in the heading along with the image of what looks to be waste land and a bones believe to be part of a human body leads the reader to wonder what exactly the article contains. At first glance the reader may think the heading and image is linked to the recent war in Tripoli but within the article we learn that is linked to a massacre in the Abu Salim prison in 1996 and has only been discovered since the rebellion in Tripoli.
